My visa application has been rejected, due to lack of financial evidence clarity.This time I am getting a letter from my uncle that I will stay 5 days with him and the other 5 days in London. My purpose of visit is General Tourism and visiting my uncle. In the previous application I did mention that I will meet my uncle but I showed a hotel booking in London for 10 days.Also I will be travelling with my wife and 3 kids, aged 9,7 and one year. Now I am confused shall I apply for General Visitor or Family Visit. In 2012, I was sponsored by same uncle and I did got a family visit visa. KIndly advice the type of visa I should apply for.

The family visitor visa does not exist any more. In fact, neither does the general visitor visa. You need to apply for the visitor (standard) visa.– Gayot FowMay 6, 2015 at 22:21

@MarkMayo, can you check it now? It's a very standard type of answer for this very standard type of situation :) The OP generated this question last spring, hopefully everything worked out for him. :)– Gayot FowAug 19, 2015 at 8:23

@GayotFow yeah, but I figure it's worth answering for other users too.– Mark MayoAug 19, 2015 at 8:25

There was a rule change in the Immigration Act 2014 that affects your decision...
To qualify as a family visitor, your sponsor must be immediate family or in the direct ascendent/descendent line. So an uncle does not meet that criteria. When you fill out the first part of the application, you can set it so it looks like this...
And then explain that your uncle is providing third party support in accordance with V 4.3 (a) of the rules...
Your uncle needs to submit all of the financial evidence listed in the supporting documents guidance.
I suggest that the guidance be studied carefully before submitting your application.
